12.6.65

yajūṃṣi tittirā bhūtvā tal-lolupatayādaduḥ /
taittirīyā iti yajuḥ- śākhā āsan su-peśalāḥ //

65. These sages assumed the form of Tittira birds and received those portions of the Yajurveda, because they were very eager to possess them; therefore the beautiful branches of the Yajurveda came to be called Taittiriya.
